Cyber Safety

Edit 0 2 …
Welcome to the new year. :) I am exceptionally pleased to announce the
availability of my new materials addressing Internet safety education.
They are on this page: <http://csriu.org/professionals/>
This site has good handouts for parents and students

This morning, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Federal Trade
  • Commission Chairman Jon Leibowitz, and Federal Communications Commission
  • Chairman Julius Genachowski introduced "Net Cetera: Chatting with Kids
  • About Being Online" at Jefferson Middle School in Washington, DC. This
  • free guide from OnGuardOnline.gov tells parents and teachers what they
  • need to know to talk to kids about issues like cyberbullying, sexting,
  • mobile phone safety, and protecting the family computer. Read more
  • about today's event at http://ftc.gov/opa/2009/12/netcetera.shtm.
  • Net Cetera is available at
  • http://www.onguardonline.gov/topics/net-cetera.aspx and in Spanish at
  • http://www.alertaenlinea.gov/topics/net-cetera.aspx. Feel free to link
  • to the guide, grab the button for your website, and post sections on
  • your blog or website. And let your constituents know that they can
  • order free copies to share with family and friends - or with a school,
  • scout troop, or soccer team - from http://bulkorder.ftc.gov.
  • We've already gotten a great response to Net Cetera. Schools and school
  • systems, police departments, libraries and other community organizations
  • have ordered almost 300,000 copies. That includes 120,000 that the Cobb
  • County, GA schools will distribute to every student in the system in
  • January. We've got 1.2 million left in our first printing. Again you
  • can order at bulkorder.ftc.gov.
